Southern Exposure

Gardening is gratifying any time of the year, but there's something about Spring that makes it even more so. Perhaps it's all those bulbs that put on such a show. The California wildflowers want to get into the act and crowd the perennials for a spot in the border. The snapdragons tower over them all, until they give a nod to the foxgloves, who take a turn as tallest and then make way for the cannas as spring too quickly fades to summer.
